Improve UX of SSH using companion app (e.g a single command + select workspaces from a list) #6287

@loujaybee

Currently to SSH using the local companion, you have to run a command like:

ssh -F /tmp/gitpod_ssh_config <your-workspace-id e.g.apricot-harrier-####>

This has some friction:

  • It requires two running terminal sessions (it would be nice to consolidate this into one)
  • It requires the user to know / go get their workspace ID
  • It requires the user to reference the SSH config file

It would be good to tackle all three of these issues (possible not within the same issue) where 1 command can be issued, allowing the selection of a workspace from a list, before the connection is established and the SSH connection opened.
